In Europe and Japan maybe, yes, but definitely not so much in the U.S. The Move probably pushed more PS3 then GT5 in America. You'll notice, even now, the strongest sales that are staying high is in Europe. GT5 sales are dying out everywhere else. It still did better then I thought it would.

In Japan, no.  I'd say GT5 has had even less impact in Japan than America.  There's almost no chance it'll sell a million even.

Don't anybody dare say anything negative about the 360 in these parts. Very pro 360 as to be expected from an american site. Did anyone else notice it getting its butt smacked by a little inferior box?

I love how this site is ALWAYS referred to as bias for a different console every time I go to the forums. I guess that means the site really must be unbias considering I've seen the site called Playstation bias, Nintendo bias, and now Xbox bias. But your logic about it being an "american" site isn't quite true. The founder of the site is not even from America....He's from England I believe.

I don't think i've ever seen the site accused of a 360 bias before.  I mean, I have trouble naming 5 "pro 360" users... Wii and Sony?  I could go into dozens.

170,000 for the past three weeks isn't dying out in any shape. We'll see what it does in the weeks following Jan 1, but Japan is the only region where GT5 has seemed to quiet down (and of course, this leaves out the possiblity of official bundles in that region.

GT5 launched in Japan with an official bundle, and a new color even (Titanium Blue).

Obviously, I'm talking a bundle a long term bundle, not a Limited Edition bundle.

Well, I don't think that'll happen.  It didn't for GT1-4 or GTPSP, and the only reason GT5P got it was because it was basically a "disposable" release.

I do think we might see another timed bundle for GT5 later on though.  Maybe next holiday.

We can say that we have some inconsistencies in the moderation. It seems that, at least, one moderator only ban you depending in your console of preference, and having biased mods is one of the worst things a forum can suffer.


Just to clear some stuff up with the guy at the start of the thread, he had a clean history, then we warned him, now he has that on his record any issues after that will only increase in punishment, so no there isn't inconsistency there at least, like Spider-man says "Everyone gets one" and that was his one.

Good to hear! Although I find it hard to believe that he went more than a 100 posts without making a stupid comment like he did at the start of this thread, I find your posts entertaining :p

 

OT: Good to see some games do numbers, approx 185k this week for Fable III and 200k week for Reach!

This site is accused of being 360 biased all the time. Post an article from here on N4G and you will see a ton of people claiming this site's founders are biased towards the 360. They do not claim the users are biased, but the founders. I do not know if this is true or not, and frankly do not care as long as the people who estimate the sales actually give us the right(within a margin of error) units sold. Also, England (like America) is mainly ruled by the 360 (when only comparing the hd twins).

N4G?

I'm pretty sure N4G would accuse Nintendo of being Microsoft biased.

N4G is like, the least credible games website on the internet without the words Nintendo, Microsoft or Sony in the address bar.

As for the founders... if you were going to accuse them of any bias, it'd be a Wii bias.  Source's picture of himself has a Wii shirt and Ioi i believe used to have a Nintendo based username back on some other website. (Or mabye this one.... I could be wrong on that.)

Though the numbers when shown against other trackers show very much no bias anywhere.

Still, nearly every single user who comments on Vgchartz articles posted on N4G, claims Vgchartz is biased towards the 360. There are people who claim this. Also for them being the least credible website without having one of the big 3's names in it, they link their users to articles from other websites including Vghartz, so....

So what?  They're user community is a step below gamefaqs user community.

It makes the winefest that is the TF2 steam message boards look amazing by comparison.

I would trust something I read on Fox News or the Huffington Post before I believed something someone said on N4G.

Heck, i'd believ something on the onion more... on the basis that what they say isn't true only to their knowledge and may actually be true.

Considering what they say is in direct contrast to all recordable reality, I'd think that would be enough.  I can't think of a time the 360 has ever been overtracked to be honest.  I can't say the same for the other consoles.

Regardless, you said you have never heard of any calling this site 360 biased, but there are tons of people, that indeed do.
